{"product_id":"indian-removal-9780806111728","title":"Indian Removal","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is unlikely that any single book or document will ever earn a more firmly-fixed position of respect and authority than this distinguished volume by Grant Foreman. Originally published in 1932, on the date of the hundredth anniversary of the arrival in Oklahoma of the first Indians as a result of the United States government's relocation of the Five Civilized Tribes, Indian Removal remains today the definitive book in its field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe forcible uprooting and expulsion of the 60,000 Indians comprising the Five Civilized Tribes, including the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, Cherokee, and Seminole, unfolded a story without parallel in the history of the United States. For more than a decade thousands of tragedies and experiences of absorbing interest marked the removal over the \"Trail of Tears,\" but there were no chroniclers at hand to record them. Only occasionally did the tragedy and pathos of some phase of this history-making undertaking beguile a sympathetic officer to turn from routine and write a line or a paragraph of comment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom fragments in thousands of manuscripts and in official and unofficial reports Grant Foreman gleaned the materials for this book to provide readers with an unbiased day-by-day recital of events.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeman, Grant:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrant Foreman\u003c\/strong\u003e (1869-1953), known as the dean of American Indian historians, was the author of \u003cem\u003eIndian Removal, The Five Civilized Tribes\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eSequoyah\u003c\/em\u003e and editor of Ethan Allen Hitchcock's \u003cem\u003eTraveler in Indian Territo\u003c\/em\u003ery, all published by the University of Oklahoma Press.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDebo, Angie:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAngie Debo\u003c\/strong\u003e was reared in a pioneer community, at Marshall, Oklahoma, where it has been her privilege to know from childhood the folkways of the Indians and the traditions of the western settlers.
